| Abstract/Contents: | Built-in-place matrices provide a unique, cost-effective alternative to common erosion control techniques. Using compressed air, fiber roving systems (FRS's) are applied in place to create random, cross-linked matrices which protect newly seeded areas from erosion under moderate flow conditions. Environmentally friendly, continuous polypropylene fibers provide protection from rainfall impact and runoff, preserve soil moisture and provide beneficial shading and temperature moderation to foster plant development. Application rates of the fiber roving systems and associated soil stabilizers may be adjusted to site conditions. FRS's can accommodate a wide variety of site geometries eliminating costly cutting, overlapping and wasting of traditional roll-out blankets and mattings. Ideal for new construction or maintenance, built-in-place matrices may be applied quickly and efficiently with low labor requirements. This paper provides an overview of fiber roving systems, design considerations, application technology, product selection alternatives and case histories of cost-effective installations." |
